Physics

mafiozo [28]3 years ago
4 0
Because the heat capacity of water is very high, meaning that it can absorb a big amount of energy (heat) while its temperature increases less than what it does in other bodies that have lower heat capacities.

In terms of equations:

Q α Cp * ΔT => ΔT is inversely related to Cp => if Cp is higher ΔT is lower.

How did harlow shapley conclude that the sun was not in the center of the milky way galaxy?
timurjin [86]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 80 m above ground level with an initial speed of 60 m/sec at an angle of 30° with
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Going up

Time taken to reach maximum height= usin∅/g

=3 secs

Maximum height= H+[(usin∅)²/2g]

=80+[(60sin30)²/20]

=125 meters

Coming Down

Maximum height= ½gt²

125= ½(10)(t²)

t=5 secs
